A new feature!!
This is one I have been thinking about for a while, I get alot of questions about: where to find cool and stylish clothes for kids, in different cities and online.
So I thought, starting a feature: Top Shops for Kids Clothes where with each post we feature a different city and their Top Kids Clothing Shops. Each city will list the top {not more then 10} shops, the shops that are unique to that city {boutiques, local stores, not chains}.
The tricky part about this feature is that I need you guys, I need stylish bloggers from different cities to be a part and help build a directory of sorts.
This will be super great for other people who live in your wonderful city or town, and for people who plan on travelling {as well alot of these stores have online shopping too!}. If you are a shopper, and know the stylish places to hit up for kids clothes {or know a blogger that is} send me an email: thebabyblackbird{at}gmail{dot}com. We can talk details.
Since I live and love my home, Toronto, Ontario, Canada. I figured I’d start here!
Below is my current top places to shop for kids clothes {I like to keep the list below 10, and only include stores that are unique to the city} but I’m sure I will add to it a bit as time goes on.
